Memorial Day


ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.

Remembering those who gave their life for our freedom .

Thank you for your honorary memorial to these brave men. Pvt. Azor Curtiss of Bailey's Regiment was an ancestor of mine.

Hi Deb,

I am also descended from Azor (Azor > Ephraim > John Bailey > Ephraim > Floyd > Charles > Dale > Me).

Are you a member of the Curtiss/Curtis Society or DAR?

Thanks for Stopping By
